I love how simple Linkly is
It's pretty accurate and easy to use! I like how it's focused on 1 simple mission, and it gets the job done as easily as possible, as fast as possible.
CONSI loved how easy it is to start creating links, and how even easier it is to track everything, nothing more than I need for the task I am aiming to complete.

Powerful, Easy to use, and Best Customer Support of all the Link Trackers
Linkly tracks our email marketing campaigns, and influencer reach outs on social media. With the information that linkly reports we are able to see which links are being clicked, which links have the highest conversions, along with beautiful charts.
PROSThe onboarding process is super intuitive. Setting up DNS was also very clear. I was able to start using the service immediately virually within minutes. I have tested other link tracking, and shortners that were way to complicated. Linkly does everything we need it to do, plus its easy to setup, and manage. The reporting is also very clear. The support team is the most responsive out of any of the providers that we use. We contacted a bunch of other companies, and most didn't even respond. Linkly support is always support helpful, and follows up to make sure you are satisfied. The personal attention is amazing.
CONSInitial it didn't have the conversion tracking built into the reporting screen. However, after contact customer support they were able to revise the report to accomodate what I needed. It took them until the next day, I have never seen a company act so quickly as Linkly did to accomodate our needs.
Reason for choosing Linkly
Linkly has everything we need, it's easy to use out of the box. The customer support is top notch. We can count on it. Other services did not have conversion tracking at all. They also were not nearly as helpful or responsive, or their pricing was also too high. Linkly charges very reasonable pricing, and is the best valuable based on the feature set.

Easy to use, quite powerful, responsive developers
Very nice product, was our favorite among several we tried. The developer/owner of Linkly is very responsive and developed helpful features quickly, following our request. Very cool.
PROSSimple, sane defaults, easy to use web app.
CONSNot all data easily visible in-app in list mode, no rule enforcement or defaults for new link configuration.

Great tool for tracking every link with free-for-life minimum option
So far it's been great. It meets all my expectations from tool of this kind. Robust, powerful, with a lot of features that, to my surprise, I didn't think of but found most useful. Highly recommend
PROSI like the most how comprehensive it is. When you look at it you know that creators really know online tracking. There is not a single feature that make you think "what would I need it for?". Cloaking, setting referrers, UTMs, blocking bots and spiders, protection from fraud, conversion tracking, tracking pixels (e.g. FB, Google). It's a bonafide tracking powerhorse. Love the tool.
CONSSeasoned marketers would find their way about this tool pretty quickly but for beginners configuration may be a bit overwhelming. Some initial tutorials or interactive guides that show most important features would be highly beneficial.

Simple and effective
Great - simple and smooth!
PROSEase of use, ability to add simple peramiters to URL's, clear and clean dashboard
CONSHaving to click to create a new link - maybe a quick link creator field on main page so enter URL and gives you a pastboarded tinkly link - you can then go and do more if you want.

Great solution for link shortening, especially for "mail:to" events
I am able to link to customers a "mailto:" link that pre-populates an email message for them to send to their friends to forward our deals and sweepstakes. This is a feature that works very well in Linkly, that doesn't work on platforms elsewhere.
PROSTo be completely honest, there are a lot of these services, bit.ly, etc. But, Linkly provides some amazing tracking and analytics in a very well packaged dashboard. I believe that for the price you pay, this sets them apart. In addition, I am specifically using them for their ability to shorten and enable "mailto:" links. Many other URL shorteners don't work like that. This way I can enable my customers to be able to forward my messaging in a pre-packaged email.
CONSI wish that the views on the free plan were extended a little bit bas 1,000/month, to get a good feel for the software, but it's understandable.

Super Intuitive - User-friendly
I am tracking clicks to links on my website without having to get a headache figuring out Google Analytics.
PROSVery easy to use and intuitive interface and features. I use it to track traffic/clicks on different links on my website. It gives me the ability to exclude all IPs of my team so I can count customer clicks only. Also their customer service connected my product to godaddy and now I have really nice subdomain vanity urls for all my products which I am tracking.
CONSI am looking forward to more integrations by Linkly. I would like to see an integration between Linkly and Capsule CRM.

I am so Happy I Found Linkly!
The easyness and the google sheet integration with the add-on - it just helped me and my team reduce a lot of effort in the whole duration of data tracking analysis.
CONSThe Free Trial only allows 1000 clicks. Only if it was a better number I would have been able to make a much more informed decision as to which subscription to buy.

Great for tracking
This software it remarkably easy to use and would be a great choice for any marketer who wants to be able to track link metrics without losing brand integrity.
PROSThe metrics that this software provides is excellent for most users, I would imagine. It's also great that your links are fully branded.
CONSThough this is no fault of the software itself, I think it's worth mentioning that plenty of people are still sceptical of clicking on shortlinks.

Why I chose (and stuck with) Linkly
I'm loving the link rotator feature personally. This allows me to split test and get the maximum return on my clicks!
PROSI really like how simple it is to get started (custom domain, pricepoint). I was able to get my initial setup in less than 30 minutes! Additionally, I like how you can see all of the clicks in one central dashboard - makes it super easy to track!
CONSI haven't come across anything yet that I didn't like. I'm a newer member but I'm completely setup and have had zero issues thus far!
Reasons for switching to Linkly
This wordpress plugin didn't give me the capabilities to link rotate, target by device, etc. Linkly is going to help me get to the next level in my business!

Best link service I could find.
All I've done is set up a few links, but that was very easy, and everything has gone smoothly. Based on this I'd be confident to try other services if/when I need them.
PROSI like how simple and intuitive it is. All I require is a handful of links to track, which should be a simple task in 2020! But despite spending most of my day online solving problems, I spent a surprising and frustrating amount of time with other systems. With Linkly it took me only a few minutes to set up everything I need, and monitoring the links is also very easy. That's all I need at this stage, but there is clearly a lot of other functionality there for businesses who need it.
CONSI haven't found anything to dislike. It does everything I need, for free.
Reasons for switching to Linkly
Bitly would have charged for a service (half a dozen different links to the same page) which wasn't worth paying monthly for at my business's current stage of development. This is free with Linkly.

Great for mailto links
I used automated emails generated by Stripe in my business. They only allow us to use web links in these emails, even though some of the buttons they use would work best for us with mailto links. Unfortunately, the link shortener I was previously using is not compatible with mailto links. Fortunately, Linkly is!
PROSFound this because I was searching for a link shortener that works with mailto links. This one does, and it's really easy to use. I'm looking at shifting over all of my link shortening to Linkly.
CONSSo far, I've not found anything I didn't like.

Feature rich URL shortener geo targeting and mailto links
Love the geo targeting feature whereby it auto detects user's location and redirects to appropriate local URL, also happy with the mailto link shortening which isn't offered by most link shortners
CONSthe shortened URLs are longer than those from bitly and goo.gl and using them on linkedin ends up getting re-shortened

Very intuitive, with lots of nifty features
We're using it to manage the various types of affiliate links we promote on WikiJob – where those links redirect to, how we monitor and report on them, etc.
PROSIt's simple to use, and the in-built reports on platform, destination, referrer etc make it easy to see what's working and what isn't it. Plus it's good value for what you get.
CONSAs yet, there's no means to do bulk edits.
Reasons for switching to Linkly
Linkly is better value and easier to use than either of those two competitor products.
